(Image source: The Washington Post / Mark Gail ) BY ELIZABETH HAGEDORN The world’s most exclusive club met this weekend behind closed doors to hammer out a deal for a one-world order — or at least that’s what the conspiracy theorists would say. Here are five things you need to know about the meet-up of the world’s power brokers, the Bilderberg Group. First off, who’s on the guest list. More than 100 bankers, world leaders and royalty showed up for this weekend’s annual summit in Watford, England. (Via Bloomberg ) The lineup includes the IMF’s Christine Lagarde , ex-CIA Chief David Petraeus , British Prime Minister David Cameron and the CEOs from Amazon and Google , to name a few. “They’re globalists. They want to try to spot presidents and prime ministers. ” (Via Sky News ) Next up, what happens at Bilderberg stays at Bilderberg. The group describes itself as a “ forum for informal, off-the-record discussions about megatrends and the major issues facing the world. ” (Via Bilderberg Group ) Shrouded in secrecy, no minutes are made public from the meetings, and with few exceptions, no journalists are allowed in. (Via BBC ) “There’s a canal, and you've got to go up the hill, and there’s this high fence pinned by concrete blocks with spotlights at the top of it. It’s fair to say, no one from here is getting in there without permission.” (Via The Telegraph ) It’s that lack of transparency, which has made for the ultimate conspiracy theory. “They planned the fake Al-Qaeda Arab Spring here a few years ago. ” (Via YouTube / TheAlexJonesChannel ) Plots to overthrow national governments and form a one-world dictatorship, talk of a secret cure for cancer — you name it. The conspiracy theories surrounding the Bilderberg Group abound, and perhaps with some reason. (Via History Channel ) A writer for The Guardian questions why attendees are so tight-lipped. “It may seem odd ... that a bunch of our senior politicians will be holed up for three days in luxurious privacy with the chairmen and CEOs of hedge funds, tech corporations and vast multinational holding companies, with zero press oversight. ” The group was established in 1954 to foster dialogue after the Cold War between the U.S. and Western Europe. This year, topics like Europe’s debt crisis, U.S. foreign policy and cyber warfare were atop the agenda. The summit was also slated to discuss “challenges in Africa,” though a writer for RT notices that continent went unrepresented during the summit, and the six Turkish guests were the only Middle Eastern voices. Which brings us to No. 5. According to the group, no agenda, no resolutions, no votes and no policy will actually come out of the summit. But as a blogger for The New York Times puts it, “More restrained critics argue while the Bilderberg Group may not make formal decisions, it sets a consensus that spreads among business and political elites, molding the global agenda.” If you’re wondering who foots the bill for the luxurious weekend, The Telegraph reports British taxpayers will end up paying millions in security costs.
